THE RELATION BETWEEN THE THERMODYNAMIC STATE OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND RADAR ECHOES FROM A CLEAR SKY.

Abstract

An analysis of the results of aerological and meteorological observations shows that a discrete-coherent radar echo is found in thermal convection. A correlation is noted between the maximum height of occurrence of this radar echo and the buoyancy on days with free convection. (Author)
